       TRAVEL INFORMATION

Lodging 

Accommodations at Alnwick Castle are basically student housing with updated mattresses and pillows; although adventurous, it is not a spa! The rooms do not include bathrooms, but have access to a community bathroom nearby. The castle is also the home of the Duke and Dutchess of Northumberland, thus there are restricted areas for security and privacy reasons. If you prefer more luxurious, less adventurous housing, click on the local hotels below for more options.

Castle rooms are limited thus reserve your spot soon! Rooms are meant to be shared with two twin beds, however there are a few 'single' rooms available for a higher price. Please book soon to get the type of lodging you prefer.  

Nearby Airports

The nearest airport is Newcastle but Edinburgh, Scotland is only a few hours away as well if you have better flight options there. Both have train and bus options to Alnwick. Alnwick is approximately six hours from London.
